Of the 94 participants in a drug trial who were given a new experimental treatment for arthritis, 54 showed improvement. Of the 89 participants given a placebo, 46 showed improvement. Construct a two-way table for these data, and then use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that improvement is independent of whether the participant was given the drug or a placebo.

d. Use the given significance level to find the critical value.
The critical value is . (Round to the nearest thousandth as needed.)
e. Using the given significance level, complete the test of the claim that the two variables are independent. State the conclusion that addresses the original claim. Choose the correct answer below.
There does not appear to be a relationship between improvement and treatment (drug or placebo).
Studdy Solution
Compare the chi-square statistic to the critical value:
Since , we fail to reject the null hypothesis.
Conclusion: There does not appear to be a relationship between improvement and treatment (drug or placebo).
